they have been selling these for about a year now, my friend got one it is crap if you want one plan to replace the brakes and engine and sprocket (theres rusted and they keep it inside)

hey jesse8931,they are under power and the gear set-up is wrong. i modifly my engine and built a header pipe exhaust system and change the rear sprocket from a 65tt to a 80tt. now it go's better. had to adjust the brake couple times . now it stop real good. better then some of my drum setups.
bike is not really built for adult to ride. ideal for someone that weighs less then 130# but it pulls me real good now with me modifly some things and i weigh about 170#.

iam about 180 iam a big boy lol but i thought maybe throw a 5hp on it and be done with it so i might just get the frame

yes, 5hp will fix that problem

**GTO** · 10-28-2007, 10:14 PM

The engine is way to small,,, even for en edger!

It's better to buy the rolling frame for $144 and slap a good engine on it.

jesse8931 · 10-30-2007, 04:15 PM

iam thinking about geting 2 i do have 2 5hp briggs

OldMan · 10-30-2007, 06:53 PM

I recommend the frame... it is solid and a better price than most other new frames you can buy as a roller.

hey gto,i know what that engine is good for? i was at harbor freight and they sell a pump with that 2.5hp motor on it. baja doodle bug really is a good china built minibike. the only real problem with it is the bike has the wrong gearing set-up and not enough power for adult to ride. built for a kid to ride

i think it will be fine with a 5hp i need a good pit bike so these will do fine
